Uprooting & Unearthing

Permaculture’s history can be described as Indigenous land management that was repackaged. While much of this knowledge and these skills have disappeared in some communities for about two generations, they are now crucial to helping address climate change and to restoring our humanity. Regardless of what we call this collection of knowledge, as we continue to commit atrocities to the planet — which in turn hurts us — this work becomes critical to our collective survival.

The theme of Uprooting and Unearthing includes: decolonization and equity; the role of spirituality and Indigenous traditions in permaculture; the inner processes of learning, reflection, and discovery; and taking responsibility through action. As we begin to uproot the systems of thought and practice that run counter to Earth care, people care, and fair share, we remember that growing food, building soil, protecting water, regenerating healthy ecosystems, and fostering community is sacred work.

“Unlawning Your Life: A How To Lesson” – Thursday, January 26, 2023

Join us to learn how to remove grass and install regenerative landscapes that support biodiversity and ecosystem health! In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to foster ecosystem health using native and perennial species while growing food, medicine, and fiber. We’ll cover how to salvage materials for use in landscapes and provide tips for organizing community around rewilding lawns at various scales. This webinar is suitable for individuals, community organizers, and anyone interested in making a local impact as part of the PAN Unlawnful campaign.

“Why to be Unlawnful” Webinar – Thursday, July 21, 2022

Lawns are a historical footprint of colonization that continue to reinforce settler colonial ideas of what home/land should look like and what/who should belong. Lawns limit the social and ecological benefits that land can offer us and that we can offer the land. Our imaginations and concepts of beauty have been distorted in order to control land and people. This participatory webinar focused on why to uncolonize and rewild lawns. Hear thoughts around the ecological, spiritual and social impact of lawns as well as reflections, discussions, and more about why to be unlawnful.

“From Access to Sovereignty: Conversations about Equitable Land Use” with Rev Dele – March 15, 2022

The practice of Permaculture requires permanent access to land. Our speaker, Rev Dele of Soil & Souls will share the story of the Indigenous Mothers’ Community Land Trust and how this journey reflects the broader issue of land sovereignty. She’ll explore why this work is necessary and the various roles we may play.

Most people don’t understand the legal importance of being connected to land and we’re moving into a situation where more people are becoming homeless. She’ll also explore some communal approaches in addressing that. This webinar addresses how we can better live up to our core ethic of fair share.

For the second half of this session, we are planning a participatory discussion. A recent thread on the Northeast Permaculture Listserv, entitled “A message from 10+ Indigenous leaders: Regenerative Agriculture & Permaculture offer narrow solutions to the climate crisis,” is generating a lot of discussion. This will be an opportunity to continue the conversation. Our intention is to create a safe and respectful space to have a productive exchange and to learn together. Please join us.

PAN wishes to thank Resilience Planning and Design for sponsoring and helping to make this event possible.

Roundtable Discussion on Decolonizing Permaculture – December 7, 2021

Join us in a roundtable discussion as PAN journeys towards decolonizing permaculture. We wish to create a frank conversation modelling vulnerability and transparency, moving past decolonization and moving towards equity. This event will include a panel with PAN board members and breakout groups with attendees.

Whether you have just started to study about decolonization or have been an activist or a community leader for years, we all have a place on this learning continuum. We invite you to join us as we learn together and share our experiences.

NOTE: We think it’s important for the permaculture community to be thinking, discussing, and learning about decolonization. We understand there are different approaches, different words, and different roles in this work. Our intention is to create a safe and respectful space to have a productive conversation and to learn together. Please join us for this discussion.

PAN wishes to thank Grasshoppers Landing for sponsoring and helping to make this event possible.
